Sweat is the fluid of the heart, transformed from essence and energy, and should not be excessively released. The causes and pathogenesis of spontaneous sweating and night sweats can be summarized into the following aspects.

1. Deficiency of the exterior due to invasion of evil

People with a weak exterior have loose skin and flesh, and are occasionally affected by wind-evil, which lingers and causes imbalance of the Ying and Wei systems, and spontaneous sweating due to impaired defense function.

2. Lung and spleen deficiency

If one is physically weak after an illness, or has insufficient constitution and weak lung and spleen qi, the skin and pores will be loose and the fur will be uneven, leading to spontaneous sweating.

3. Heart and spleen blood deficiency

Thinking too much, or having blood disease for a long time, can cause the blood in the heart to be consumed secretly, resulting in the loss of body fluids, causing spontaneous sweating or night sweats.

4. Yin deficiency and excessive fire

Improper living habits, overwork, deficiency of essence and blood, internal generation of virtual fire, disturbance of yin fluid, inability to store it and leaking out as sweat.

5. Evil Heat Stagnation

Emotional discomfort, stagnation of liver qi which turns into fire, or craving for spicy and greasy food which causes heat accumulation in the stomach and intestines, or dysfunction of the spleen which causes dampness and turbidity in the middle of the body which turn into heat over time. Pathogenic heat accumulates and body fluids leak out, causing spontaneous sweating or night sweats.

Generally speaking, spontaneous sweating is caused by weak Qi, which can be attributed to deficiency of the Lung and Spleen Qi or disharmony between the Ying and Wei systems. Night sweats are caused by failure to store heart fluid, which can be attributed to deficiency of Yin and fire or deficiency of both the Heart and Spleen. If the evil heat pursues the patient and the body fluids are leaked out, it is a positive syndrome. However, for patients with a long course of illness or severe conditions, the symptoms may turn from real to virtual or become a mixture of virtual and real.

The Ming Dynasty's "Jing Yue Complete Book: Sweating Symptoms" pointed out that spontaneous sweating is due to yang deficiency, and night sweats are due to yin deficiency. This is generally speaking, "this is the general rule, and you must know it", but "spontaneous sweating and night sweats each have yin and yang symptoms, so it cannot be said that spontaneous sweating must be due to yang deficiency, and night sweats must be due to yin deficiency." The insights are pertinent and quite relevant to clinical practice. "Clinical Guide to Medical Cases·Sweating" by Ye Tianshi of the Qing Dynasty: . For spontaneous sweating due to Yang deficiency, the treatment should be to replenish Qi to protect the exterior; for night sweating due to Yin deficiency, the treatment should be to replenish Yin to nourish the interior. "This is a concise and concise outline for treating spontaneous sweating and night sweats. Wang Qingren took a different approach and proposed that "blood stasis can also cause spontaneous sweating and night sweats, so use Xuefu Zhuyu Decoction."

In short, the discussion on the physiology and pathology of sweat was first found in the "Inner Canon of the Yellow Emperor". "Treatise on Febrile Diseases" and "Golden Chamber" set a precedent for the diagnosis and treatment of spontaneous sweating and night sweats. "Treatise on the Causes and Symptoms of Various Diseases" discusses in detail the causes and pathogenesis of spontaneous sweating and night sweats. During the Jin and Yuan Dynasties, the view that spontaneous sweating was due to yang deficiency and night sweats were due to yin deficiency was basically formed. Medical practitioners in the Ming and Qing dynasties conducted a relatively comprehensive discussion and summary of the theories and experiences in treating sweating syndrome, which greatly improved the level of syndrome differentiation and treatment.
